Re: [ga] Godaddy mail hostname = spam errors and possible security issue?

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andy and all,

  Good digging and well done!  >:)  I also noticed that
the Email contact your digging refrenced has a not very
well configured DNS either.  Bad show!  See:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport?domain=modone.gd&format=raw&loadresults=true&token=26b1860c8c7a51f114809905096fd01a

I hope than that ICANN's compliance folks will demand getting these
errors corrected as soon as possible accordingly?
